“...How is it that Cuba would suffer under American embargo, if capitalism is so evil?????”
It’s an embargo, not a blockade. Cuba was surrounded by U.S. Navy ships only once, in 1962 during the Missile Crisis. The Cuban regime is free to trade with any other nation in the world. So ending the economic embargo, put in place by JFK that same year, makes no sense except to those who wish to strengthen Communist rule on the Island.
Ordinary Cubans suffer because communism is cruelly inefficient in creating food & goods as in anywhere it has been imposed. Communism benefits only the communist ruling class.
When it comes to aiding the Castro regime, Obama was a traitor and Leahy & Co are traitors.
To learn more, google “tourist experiences Cuba”. A lot of stupid Westerners who go there are socialist believers and even they have to hold their noses as they describe what they saw and experienced. And it doesn’t seem to change their minds, either.
Errr... Methinks you mean '1600 Pennsylvania Ave' as the street address of the former residence of BHO. Just correcting the record!
They should be kicked out of the senate. There nothing more useless to Americans than a US Senator. Apparently they are quite useful to terroists and communist dictators.
Of course I meant 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. I don’t know where I got the 1200 from. *Grrr*
There is no more Democratic Party. There is the Communist Party USA wearing a mask.
F-ing sickening and appalling. Those a-holes need to stay there.
It’s what communists do that are masters of taking see democrat party record.
Start a war with 10000 nuke Russia, but suck up to impoverished gulag Cuba. That’s Democrats for ya.
What a bunch of punks.
More proof that we cannot afford to let the sleazy RAT bastards get control of the country again.
Should be treason.
A pity this was allowed.
A huge part of Cuban economy is catering to visiting pedophiles.
....which is probably why Democrats love the communists so much.
It wasn’t just people at the embassy
It would explain why the DEMS were so concerned with re-opening 'tourism' with Cuba.
P.S. It does explain why Leaky Leahy just visited.
